My Heart

October 4, 2011

What can I say? I am a big romantic at heart. & I absolutely love period romances. I love how the guys are true gentleman and chivalry is still around. Is anyone else a fan of romance? Here is a 'collection' of image stills + gifs from my top 10 favorite most romantical filmsthat I recommend ;)

I'd tell you my #1 favorite but these are all pretty up there. I guess if I had to choose, I'd say North & South and Persuasion. They are must watch, if you haven't seen either! Although Jane Eyre & Under the Greenwood Tree are not far behind ;) Most of these are books of course, so I'd recommend reading them too. I've read a few listed here. I really hope this book gets made into a movie. It'd be amazing!

So what about you? Do you have any films that aren't on this list that you love? I'd say that Atonement, Becoming Jane, and Miss Potter are also very good, but sad too, and I like happy endings! Hope I'm not giving too much away about the films above ;)

hello's:

A few of these movies are favorites of mine, and a few I've never heard of...my husband and I have a 'stay-in' date night planned for Friday, so I'm hoping I can find one on Netflix. Thanks for sharing!

I love the images you used for these wonderful films!These aren't exactly period romances but I love Bridges of Madison County and Same Time Next Year isn't a period romance either but I love the way it covers many decades.

I've seen most of these and couldn't agree more! LOVE these movies! Though I like the Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds the most. But the newer Emma with Romola Garai makes me swoon every single time. I might even have to commit Jane Austen treason and say that I like Mr. Knightley more than Mr. Darcy! And I also love the Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice more than the BBC version (though I love that one too). Okay...I'll stop. I could go on forever about these movies!

I just finished Anne of Green Gables last week, so I'm very happy to see Anne and Gilbert here~North and South looks so good! I'm agreeing with a lot of what's up there, though I have yet to see Persuasion. You've convinced me that I should see it :)

Yes to all of them! Even down to the specific versions of Emma and Pride and Prejudice (I love the 1995 version, but I slightly prefer the new one). All of these are in my top favorites. I would add to the list Bright Star which is sad, but so romantic and breathtakingly beautiful. And Daniel Deronda. And Wives and Daughters - you would probably love that one. These movies are my comfort and I watch and re-watch them as I go about my homely tasks.

I REALLY REALLY want to see the 2011 Jane Eyer. It looked so romantic in the trailer. I'm so smitten with Gilbert. I love this post. Gets me to want some hot chocolate and some soft socks while watching them.

BTW I'm guest posting about mommy fashion over at The Short and the Sweet of It this morning. You should stop by if you get a second =)

oh my... i have never met you before Danni but you have just named in one shot every one of my go-to favorite movies, i had no idea that there was another person out there who could select my top 10 romantic movie favorites as well as i could. I wouldn't add anything to this list, yes i am a 1995 Pride and Prejudice die hard so i would change that (no hard feelings though :) but you hit the mark in my book!

Great list!! I haven't seen Cranford, but I've been watching the BBC Miniseries **Lark Rise to Candleford** - and based on this list, I think you'd absolutely love it. It's on Itunes if you want to check it out :)

North and South wins in every way for me (just can't say no to Richard Armitage--what a heartthrob, alas). In addition, Sense and Sensibility, BBC miniseries and the 1995 version with Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman...are both top of my lists too.

Yes! I love several of those movies and now I have a few more to check out. Persuasion is probably my favorite but it's a tough pick. I actually haven't seen that version, but there is another version that I just love.

I absolutely adore the 2005 Pride & Prejudice--the style, the soundtrack, Matthew McFayden. I should be embarrassed by how many times I've seen it. I love the BBC version, too, (have the full set on DVD!), but something about the Keira Knightley version just gets me every time!

I love love love Redeeming Love! My sister read it in one sitting and gave it to me with puffy tear-filled eyes. I read it all in one all-nighter brimming with tears too and passed it onto a girlfriend. I can't believe I forgot about. It's been almost 10years since I read. Thanks for the reminder it's going on my Christmas to give list.

I love the images that you pick for each movies! Absolutely adore Anne of Green Gables, the sweetest series I've ever read. I wish they make more of Anne's films. I love the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth :) Glad I saw this posting because people are mentioning series I've never heard before. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful list! I loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid (the book that is). I used to make up names of places just like Anne, haha.I haven't seen Jane Eyre yet because I've been reading the book and I want to finish it before I see it. And Pride and Prejudice was lovely, I really, really liked it.

As for the other movies - I'm adding them to my list right now! Thanks:) xo

what a fun post! i love period movies!! :) i just saw Persuasion & it was so lovely! i am in love with the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice, it's filmed so beautifully! & i can not wait to see the new Emma! and of course, Sense & Sensibility. i just love anything Jane Austen!! Another favorite of mine is Bright Star... sad, but very beautiful.

Aah, such an awesome post! I'm in total and utter love with it! You just have to do a part 2, okay? Im a total perido drama fan and have seen a lot of these, but a few are mysteries still!I alwasy thought JAne Eyre was weird and creepy, but I just read a different version of it, a new YA one, and it's so good that I can't wait to read the proper version and see heaps of the film versions!

Danni this post pretty much made my day:D I LOVE p&p (both versions!) as well as Persuasion! and after reading this I totally checked out North and South and Cranford from the library where I work:) thanks so much for sharing!!

Anne of Green Gables is wonderful..would you believe my husband rates it as a one of his favourites too..Of course all the Austen stories are beautiful and Miss Potter is a delight. You have excellent taste!!!
